paternity leave

Post by bolton1969 »

Is there a download for paternity leave.I need to find out how long you can take off and what pay you get.Has it now been increased to 2 weeks full pay for paternity under the 2010 way forward agreement.

I think so... one guy in our office just had 2 weeks off, plus his 1 in 6 RWO.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Congratulations to you both.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Our agreement is different,just like sick pay,the government minimum is much less than ours on both counts.

That's statutory rights.
We have an employer agreement that overrides that.....
Royal Mail and CWU have agreed the need to move towards single status business wide family friendly policies. An increase is agreed in contractual maternity pay from 18 to 26 weeks and an increase in paternity pay from one to two weeks from 1st April 2010.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share
